Description | The Savannah Daily Advertiser, Oct. 22, 1870: "Base Ball Notes...At Opelika, Ala. on the 18th, a game was played between the Olympians of West Point, Ga., and the Bonnie Blues of Montgomery, resulting in a defeat for the Alabama boys by a score of 74 to 30." The New York Clipper Oct. 29, 1870 reports that the Bonnie Blues claimed to be the champions of Alabama. Same Oct. 15, 1870 has them losing to a local picked nine, when their scheduled opponents, the "Prairie Roughs" of Montgomery, failed to show. "Pearsall" played first base for them--presumably Alec Pearsall of the old Eckfords of Brooklyn. |
